Two months ago I took part to the #DINOJAM. The theme was ‘Underwater’, so I developed a marine reptile tycoon game. The result was… underwhelming 😅
So when I learnt about the #ContinueYourGame jam, I decided to give it another go. Read the first devlog here: pleistogames.itch.io/aquasauria-p...
So in #DINOJAM 5 I got.....
12th out of 17
My goal was 'not dead last' so I did that at least

A sketch of a plesiosaur skull and two swimming plesiosaurs
A little late for the #EuropeanHeritageDays but still: Plesiosaurs are among the most iconic mesozoic marine reptiles of Europe. The first plesiosaur was discovered in 1821 by Mary Anning - a talented fossil huntress and major contributor to paleontology.

Here is my submission for #DINOJAM 5
Playable in browser
Yes, the ship movement is meant to be like that
And yes I did accidentally make the game trivially easy

Here is the pterodactyl with a jet pack from my #DINOJAM game
also side note how is #godot to get into?
I've been thinking of doing some projects in godot that gamemaker can't do
#indiegame #indiegames #indiedev #gamemaker #gamedev
My #DINOJAM project is focused on a pterodactyl with a jetpack dropping laser eggs
I wanted the game to be simpler so I could finish it by the 20th, so I don't have to download anything on my birthday

My #DINOJAM game technically doesn't have a dinosaur in it, but I'm going to hope it isn't strict with the definition of dinosaur

I have been making a game for #DINOJAM
For the first time in a while, I am having fun making a project

#dinojam survival mechanics are in, and you can actually die now! getting down to the wire though -.- #gamedev #paleoart
did some gardening for #dinojam. it's hard to tell but they're all supposed to be accurate hell-creek flora (cycads, ferns, palms, monkey-puzzle, horesetails,magnolias etc) #gamedev
#dinojam progress! Our hatchling has a foodsource now
I've been slacking on this, need to double down over the next week to get it done :( #gamedev #godot
ok, #dinojam idea now is that you're a hatchling t.rex and you have to level up whilst niche partitioning to survive #pixelart #aseprite
Meet Pachy! Pachycephalosaurus! Pixel Art
Meet Pachy!
Pachycephalosaurus! First in-game enemy. Will walk until it it sees sees an obstacle. Then he rushes towards and and destroys with his string head. Not polished yet (not sure what and how) so WIP. #DinoJam #GameJam #pixelart
#dinojam 4 progress, some tweaks to the tileset for readability and added squishable plants #GODOT #gamedev
Little compy. Playable in game character
Day 3 of #dinojam #gamejam and I finally managed to figure out what I'm going to do! Had tons of ideas, but decided to go with tower defense like. Here is first playable character!
working on the tileset for #dinojam 4, using the Ocean Amiga/dos Jurassic park game as inspiration (less colors though). #pixelart #gamedev
P.S.: less than 7 days before we start the 4th edition of #DINOJAM 🦕
